Did Albert know Diane was a tulpa?

Granted, there's not a ton in the way of evidence for this theory, but the only way I can square Albert's shooting of Diane with one of my favorite scenes from the original series, in which he "eschews all forms of violence absolutely" is if he does not consider shooting Diane a form of violence at all, perhaps because he knows she is not a "person" in the traditional sense. He may even consider it a mercy.

 

Of course, a lot can change about a person in 25 years, and I would never blame someone for defending themselves from mortal danger. But it did make me a little sad to see Albert stray from his strange and difficult path.

Agree with you about Albert's stance but, violence begets violence in return - I saw it as self-defense as he had no way of knowing who Diane was about to shoot - so, either it was self-defense of himself or defense of another - clearly "legal" either way when confronted with the threat of deadly force

In whatever Part it was exactly, Cole tells Albert, "I felt it when she hugged, but this confirms it" or something to that effect. I have been thinking, in retrospect, that he was perhaps referring to her being a tulpa.

As for Albert's commitment to nonviolence, clearly that can only go so far for an FBI agent, right? So that actually doesn't concern me much at all.

They clearly were on to her about everything and were ready for this.  Yes, I think they knew what she was.  Their  familiarity with Blue Rose cases gave them more information than they have shown onscreen.

Yep, and Albert's tulpa reveal to Tammy was foreshadowing (though most of us didn't understand that at the time).
